Dallas started this past week at .500, and they finished it the same way. They beat two excellent teams in Phoenix and Denver, and were one shot away from beating Milwaukee, many times over. Their second loss to Chicago came without Luka Doncic, Josh Green and Maxi Kleber. Kemba Walker made his Mavericks debut against the Bulls and scored eight points in 20 minutes.
Team grade: C
The Mavericks two wins this past week were fantastic. They handled Phoenix at home, and then flew to Denver and defeated the Nuggets on the second night of a back-to-back.
